Hayden Markowitz opted to continue his Bachelorette journey with Rachel Recchia, as opposed to Gabby Windey, on the show’s July 25 episode. He made his decision clear during a one-on-one conversation with Gabby, where he told her that his morals aligned better with Rachel’s. He also referred to Gabby as “rough around the edges” during the conversation.

Although Gabby was hurt by Hayden’s choice of words, Rachel felt a connection with him. She decided to give him a rose at the rose ceremony, making him one of her nine men for the remainder of the season. However, Hayden rubbed a lot of Bachelorette viewers the wrong way, and has become a controversial contestant on the show’s 19th season. Learn more about him below:
